In this lesson, Dr. Welch says, “There is no right way to grieve.” Do you agree? Have you ever seen someone grieve in a way that you thought was “wrong”? Explain.
-
Yes. Everyone grieves differently. Some people can cope better than others. Some need to be around people, others need to be alone. Some need to reflect differently than others. No one has the same feelings.
-
I agree that there is no “right way” to grieve. None of us are the same. God has created as all as singularly unique beings. Therefore, we are all going to react to tragedy and loss differently. I am not sure that I have ever seen someone grieve in a way that I considered “wrong,” but I have seen Christians who suffered loss who seemed to sorrow as the world sorrows over their loss, which is not in keeping with what Paul wrote in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. But it is not my place to judge. I think we need to give people a lot of space to grieve in a way that is between them in and the Lord, unless they are endangering themselves or others.
-
Yes. I did see some people that grieved in a way I thought was wrong. Say, someone passes away, some of my relatives would faint, cry uncontrollably. You can’t even comfort them.
-
I never thought about it before but I guess there may not be a wrong way to grieve. Mabey every has to take a different journey .

I agree with Dr. Welch’s statement, “There is no right way to grieve.” Each person and each relationship is unique. How is expressed in the grieving process is unique and reflective of the love experienced in the active/growing relationship. I don’t think that I’ve seen someone grieve in a “wrong” way, because if there is no “right way” to grieve, there is no opposite wrong way to grieve.
